His wife was Christina Seyfried (1695-1775) of Rosteig, Alsace; her name is given as Sybart in some records. Christina, and her surviving children and their families, immigrated to America in 1750 on the Phoenix, and joined the Moravian community in Bethlehem PA. <P> The name becomes Clouse in the 19th century.<P> <HR> <H4>Second Generation</H4> Children of Johannes Clauss and Christina Seyfried<BR> Johannes Clauss (1717-1721)<BR> Anna Maria Clauss (1719-1721)<BR> Johann Georg Clauss (1722-1763) m.

Many times on summer evenings she would amuse her children by standing in the door yard and sending the bugle notes reverberating down the hollows and over the hills for miles to be caught up and re-echoed from hill to hill." The horn she used has been handed down through the family.<P> ----------<P> Children of Joseph Clouse and Catherine Johnson<BR> Jane (Jinsey) Clouse m. <A HREF="chafin.html">Dickerson Chaffin</A>, moved to Prairie Co.
